LISBOA :-§) friday special post

Ahhh these aquatic conquerors... what to say about them? How to describe such unique european archetype?

5 pictures.

Lisboa is a must for every mustache appreciator. Really. Not that the natives exhibit a long range of shapes. For instance, you won’t find a chopper, but trust me when I say 1 outta 3 padaria owner's carry a respectful 1800. Nevertheless the „bigode“ is deeply rooted in their collective consciousness.

Did you know that in 1755 an earthquake trashed 90% of Lisboa along with a few lovely tsunamis? Did you know Lisboa’s female population discovered the razor and therefore escaped our lenses? But we’re not done with Portugal. No, not yet.

Porto women, get ready. 'Cause we’re coming after you.

december 16 :-§) international correspondent: Denmark!

And a new Scandinavian correspondent has joined the belowthenose quest for the world’s coverage of the mustache.

This time is Denmark, homeland of Soren Kierkegaard, Lars Von Trier, Lego and Carslberg (please enjoy separately) and of humankind’s crème de la crème, the vikings.

So welcome Denmark! May your nordic winds blow hairy warriors to belowthefans all over the world.

WISH WAS MY GRANDPA :-§) friday special post

And don't you?
Don't you wish one of these cuties was your grandpa? Doesn't really matter if father of your father or father of your mother (not to mention mr.milkman), the point here is they can guarentee an aura of wisdom at your graduation's family-dinner-table just by standing there, with their wrinkled cheeks and tender "are those natural??" curious little brown eyes.

Just picture yourself next to the easychair listening to countless tales and lifelessons only a true experienced mustache can possess, then answer me honestly: what else can a grandson ask for? Original LP's from Louis Armstrong? Money for a hooker?

I'll let you wonder through the weekend, my little mustache bastard friend.

Schönbrunn Castle, WIEN :-§) friday special post

Who's never being to Schönbrunn Castle? Not me. Nope, not this belowthenose writer. But a few members of the belowthestaff did, and this time with the honorable companion of Thaís R - BTN's OMP (Belowthenose Official Mobile Photographer).

And what news do they bring us, besides old rocks piled-up and endless ancient staircases? Hu? Besides those who-da-hell-cares-whadafuck-this-place-held-in-the-past 1 sleeve flyers guides? Well, from here it looks like the mustache is "in" at places you and me would never ever - EVER - go.

So relax. You don't have to see it for yourself. You don't have to spend hundreds of euros to V-mark these wonder buildings and parks. No you don't. And why? 'Cause you can trust your mustache curiosity/appetite on the Belowthenose and go to bed with a clear conscience.
